Varizoom VZ-PRO-L
 

would this Varizoom VZ-PRO-L work on the JVC101e

john

The one I use for my camera is the VZ-PG-F its an 8 pin that fits the stock lense.

LANC is a consumer standard not suited to professional applications. The ENG-style lens on the HD100 uses an 8-pin connection common to most professional broadcast lenses.

thanks guys

a guy has this one for sale would it work:
"Fujinon SRD-92B zoom control"

john

I've got the JVC HZ-ZS12U (Fuji SRD-91) and it works very well.

thanks

i would really need to know if this one would work, are you using it with the jvc101

john

The HD101 is a Pro camera so it doesn't have LANC. If you want to control a Fujinon lens, you need a zoom controller compatible with 8-pin fuji port on the lens. The VZ-PRO-L is a LANC controller for consumer cameras.

Since Fuji 8-pin is a standard that has been around forever, it should be easy for you to find a zoom controller, especially in the used market.

thanks , i am not clued up on this, but this Fuji SRD-91 seems to have a 8 pin and all i want to know if it would work, its a secondhand item and i acnnot return if it doesnt work

john

If you look closely at my post above, that is the exact same one I own. The JVC part number is HZ-ZS13U. It works well.

thanks,

yours is :JVC HZ-ZS12U (Fuji SRD-91)

Mine: Fujinon SRD-92B zoom control
the difference is SRD-91 and SRD-92B

it has :one central pin with seven arranged equally around it. do you think it will be ok

john

I have a great Varizoom package that would work for sale, see the classified section:
http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/showthrea...462#post563462

As long as there are 8 pins and not 12 it will work fine. The difference between the 91 and 92B is that the 91 only has zoom and REC, but the 92B has REC, Zoom and an auto variable speed controller.

thats a 12 pin

tim

thank you very much

all the best

I am going to buy one of these. Is there a reason the 92B would be preferred over the 91? or vice-versa?

I have the JVC focus controller on the other handle and want the zoom. I am using this for shooting stage shows.
